Need good quality rear quarter panels

I was wondering if any of you know of the best place to buy rear quarter panels for both sides of my 1980 RX7? Also, I could use some rocker panels and floor panels if they are available. I know it sounds like my car is falling apart, but really it isn't that bad. I just want it done right. I plane on mig welding them in. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

has the quarter panels, never ordered from them so I'm not sure what kind of customer service they have. As for the rest either find a parts car or do like I did and fabricate some patches out of sheet metal, the floor, and wheel wells aren't seen so it doesn't have to be super pretty, and if you fabricate and weld well enough then it is done right and will last plenty long.

Is it just me or do those rear quarters look a little funny? I thought the lower part was just smooth. It almost looks as if those continue the line that the door sill area has if that makes any sense. Is that how my fb should look or is it an SA style or is it just the lighting in the picture..Im confused.

That's the link I found earlier. Kind of pricey. What do you think the difference is in that one and these I found last night. I included the link below:

Gen01onr: I'll have to look at my RX to see what they look like. I can't remember off hand but now that you mention it, it does look odd.

Thanks for the response guys, any one else know where to find them?
